Brewery news Singapore & Myanmar: Myanmar Breweries two stakeholders preparing to face off in court
A long-drawn battle over Myanmar Breweries (MBL) is coming to a head, with both stakeholders preparing to face off in court, The Straits Times reported on August 1.

Myanma Economic Holdings (MEHL) asked the Singapore High Court on July 29 to force the sale of a 55 per cent stake in the brewer held by Fraser and Neave (F&N) to be completed by Aug 20.

MEHL has also filed an application for an interim injunction requiring F&N, its joint venture partner in the firm, to sell its stake for 500 billion kyat (S$540 million).

F&N is refusing to budge from its earlier position that any sale of the stake should be completed at the estimated fair value of US$560 million (S$770 million).

It insisted that the sum was determined by the jointly appointed independent valuer.

"It is our position that by choosing to refuse to complete the sale at US$560 million, MEHL has... breached its obligations," F&N said on July 31 in a filing to the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

The exchange rate to be used for the deal has been a sore point between the joint venture partners.

While F&N says the 2013 US dollar/Myanmar kyat exchange rate must be used, MEHL has demanded that the deal ...More info on site


Brewery news South Sudan: SABMiller may be forced to halt operations in South Sudan
SABMiller Plc may be forced to halt operations in South Sudan unless it’s able to access foreign currency and fuel needed to run the business, Bloomberg reported on August 1.

“If we don’t get access to raw materials and the lack of hard currency continues, we may do so, but we are saying not now or in the near future,” George Nisbet, finance director at Southern Sudan Beverages Ltd., of SSBL, said by phone Saturday from the capital, Juba.

Fighting between government and rebel forces that erupted in South Sudan in December 2013 has left tens of thousands of people dead and more than 2 million displaced, according to the United Nations. President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar have failed to reach an agreement on ending the conflict despite months of negotiations.

SABMiller, the world’s second-biggest brewer, built the first brewery in South Sudan. The manufacturing began producing brands including White Bull and Nile Special in 2009. Africa accounts for about 31 percent of total revenue, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

SSBL is scaling back operations and sending some staff on leave as it tries to deal with the shortages, Managing Director Carlos Gomez told reporters during a tour of the ...More info on site


Brewery news India: Viiking Ventures acquires Goa-based King Beer brand
Viiking Ventures, part of actor-producer Sachiin Joshi's JMJ Group, has acquired Goa-based beer brand Kings Beer from Impala Distillery and Brewery for Rs 90 crore, a top company executive was quoted as saying by The Economic Times on August 4.

"While the brand had domination in Goa, it was selling for itself due to various distribution and marketing issues. So, we decided to acquire the 22-year old boutique brand and make it a mass scale brand," said Sachiin Joshi, chairman at Viiking Ventures, adding that the brand will be owned by the company while its production will still be done by Impala. Post the acquisition, the brand has also been launched in Mumbai.

Viiking already has its own vodka brand and is also working on launching a wine and scotch brand. "We are creating our own brand and will get it produced by the existing manufacturing outlets in the market rather than manufacturing it ourselves," Joshi said.

He added that he is also looking to acquire a vineyard in France or Italy with an investment of $20-40 million.

Founded in 2012, Viiking Ventures has presence in sectors like FMCG, hospitality, entertainment, realty, infrastructure, paper products and philanthropic activities.

Last year, the group ...More info on site


Brewery news Ethiopia: Habesha Beer starts distribution
Habesha Beer started distribution on July 11, 2015, 20 days after commencing production, with a limited market in Debre Birhan, Addis Abeba and Adama, AllAfrica reported on August 3.

In terms of share capital distribution, Habesha Beer has 8,800 shareholders including idirs, equbs, and Ethiopians in the Diaspora, with shares of 4,000 Br to 5,000,000 Br, Yonas Alemu, Habesha's commercial director disclosed. Bavaria NV holds a 40pc share in the company, but, Yonas refused to tell the financial value of that share. Bavaria, established in late 17th century, is the second-largest brewery in the Netherlands.

Habesha was planning an initial production capacity of 300,000 hl (hectolitres), which it later increased to 650,000 hl when Bavaria joined. The company is located in Debre Birhan town, 120 km north of Addis Abeba, where it started construction in September 2013 on a 7.5 ha plot of land.

In a Fortune report dated December 14, 2014, Ethiopia's total beer production capacity stands at 7.1 million hectolitres annually. BGI Ethiopia's capacity stands at 2.7 million hectolitres from its three factories at Addis Abeba, Hawassa and Kombolcha. Heineken S.C., which owns Walia, Harar, and Bedele breweries, has a capacity of 2.5 million hectolitres. Diageo, owner of Meta Abo Brewery, ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: Red Stripe beer accused of misleading consumers about where it is brewed
Red Stripe is the latest beer to face the wrath of US consumers who say they're being duped, Fox News reported on August 4.

Two people have filed a suit in federal court in San Diego against liquor giant Diageo, makers of the beer, alleging that the company wilfully misleads customers into thinking Red Stripe beer is brewed in Jamaica.

The suit alleges that Diageo uses deceptive phrasing like calling the brew a “Jamaican Style Lager” and that the brown bottle says it contains the “taste of Jamaica.” The suit alleges that the shorter, squat packaging is misleading because it so closely mirrors that of typical Jamaican beer bottles.

In 2012, Diageo moved production of Red Stripe bound for the U.S. from Kingston, Jamaica to Latrobe, Penn. Current packaging states that the product is "Brewed & Bottled by Red Stripe Beer Company, Latrobe, PA."

Robbins Arroyo, the San Diego law firm representing the plaintiffs, claim that the label's white text stating that is “obscure” and “not easily noticed by consumers.”

The suit also accuses Diageo of selling Red Stripe at prices substantially higher than most domestic beers, even though it is brewed in the U.S. and uses only domestic ingredients.

This latest complaint comes after Anheuser-Busch ...More info on site
